152OT Sharpfinger

[Righteous]

First post but read here a lot. Roaming a pawn shop earlier and picked up this old timer SharpFinger 152. I have a newer one made in China but this one says USA and the sheath is different by the way it snaps under the handle instead of across it.
Can someone date this?? I gave $15 for it.

Tried to edit the title but couldn’t. It’s a 152

First of all, Hi from Australia.
Codger will come along, and maybe move your post to the "Sharpfinger Forum.

It has had 160,379 lookers and 534 posts - on just one type of knife.
As you now have a nice US made knife,
you can now give your old knife to some one you don't like... Ken

Per Codger's own posts, your sheath dates the knife from about 1975-'83, the second of four versions they used.

I fixed your thread title for you. Yes, assuming the sheath and knife have been lifelong pals, black mamba's date range is correct. You got a good deal on a good knife! Enjoy!

I put it on the bench buffer today. Cleaned up and looks like new
